Forest Hills Barber Shop

Walked in very respectful only to be looked at like scum (even greeted the open barber with a gentleman’s handshake to which he was very stand offish) isn’t this a business? That’s not even the best part.. so I asked for a “Shape up” which is a common term in the barber industry. Now I can tell the energy is shifting for the worse. Very rudely he says “what’s a shape up” so I kindly explain that it’s just a clean up of the hairline with a straight edge razor. When I tell you you would have thought I asked this guy for custom designs and the key to his house at this point he looks disgusted he says “we don’t do that” so I say ok that’s fine thanks and get out of the chair he then states “you should probably go to a BLACCCKKK barber” in the most ignorant way possible. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Mind you I’m Hispanic. So when I googled Hispanic barber shop it brought me to this trash can. I didn’t know only BLACK barber shops use straight edge razors...you learn something new everyday. Unbelievable and just down right pathetic. Its 2018! I did tho end up taking this disgrace of a barbers advice and went to diamond cutz right down the street which looked to be a predominantly “black” barbershop. And guess what? Nothing but positive fun energy in the air and respect! If you support ignorance go to Forest Hills Barbershop and I feel sorry that there are still people in this world that have such simple minds.

Great guys giving great haircuts for a good price. Happy to carry on a conversation or not, up to you
